—Blip (Shzzzllzzzthzz)You are too fearful -- too suspicious -- too quick to strike! You are not yet ready to learn the secrets I might have taught you!

An alien made of living electricity visits Earth to regain its strength after becoming stuck in a space time warp. Since it has hidden itself in a cave, and siphoned off the nearby electrical current, a scientist goes looking for the source of the power disruption. He finds the alien and realizes that it's friendly, but the frightened townsfolk come upon the cave and mistake the alien's large size for menace and take the scientist as a collaborator.
